It would be nice to get some honest assessments. There is no such thing as a perfect car.

Guess we can't really compare it to Ferrari as none of them has apparently burned to the ground.

4.It took an extra 20 minutes to get out of the tint shop, the cute young lady working the office didn't want the car to leave.
5.Having to explain that no, it didn't cost over 100k.
6.No more hot coffee in the upholders, the "console heater" feature doesn't work in this one.
7.Not accumulating as many credit card cash back points on fuel.
8.Unable to give Sam and Big Dan something to complain about.
I knew it! Problems galore.

Yeah, you're right.
Alright you bunch of fibbers, it's time to fess up. I'll go first...

1.This car IS harder to wash/detail; try Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax spray, clear so no white residue around vents etc.
2.The "magic trunk vent" could work better to reduce hatch closing effort with windows up.
3.It made me realize that my last Corvette wasn't as good as I thought it was all that time.

Sarah,

I sent you (and Kelly) a PM regarding this issue. I am taking it into the shop this morning and will let you know how things go.

hAHAHAHA

No problems to report here.

Not crazy about the Cargo area 2 piece cover. What genius came up with that? But it does cover, and that's' truly a NIT.

Only other complaint is for some reason, the service manager decided he would put on the front brake cooling rings on. When I picked up the car service was closed.

Don't know why they didn't ask, and my guy immediately offered to bring it back and have them removed, but will do that myself today, easy enough. Pop the tires off, snip the retaining wires, pop the rings off.

You are so right! I would not be surprised if most of them didn't own a c7.

No problems here either (knock on wood), well besides attracting the paparazzi .

The only problem is still people slowing down traffic to take pictures and give me the double thumbs up.....I wonder how long before this stops.

I apologize for people who feel they have the need to ignore the original subject. Worse they do not own a C7 just want to cause trouble. To the post that says there are no perfect cars I agree. All you have to do is define perfect. Ride, handling, gas mileage, trunk space etc.
what I and the other posting owners have said is we do not have any problems with our cars. They work the way they were designed to work. If you do not own a C7 then your experience with a C7 does not exist. So if you want to stir things up go right ahead and while the rest of the happy owners laugh at your inexperienced inputs.

Here are my problems with my new C7

1) I don't want to park it anywhere for fear of someone banging into my new, beautiful, kick-*** ride with their POS.

2) Everyone wants to come talk to me about it (which is OK), take pictures of it (still OK), sit in it (eh, now I have to screen based on personal hygine), then they ask if they can drive it (are you F*ing kidding me?!)

3) Exhaust so loud I can't leave for work in the morning without waking up most of the household

4) I feel special, pampered, and lucky all at the same time. Just a plain awful way to feel

Don't know!!!!!! They are still doing it with my old, obsolete, ugly, slow, C6 Z06.

I guess some people don't have a life and like to drool on our cars.

Seems like you are a bit irritated, you don't have to keep defending your Z.
